Before I get to the very helpful results of the survey so far, Book Group Buzz has graciously welcomed me as one of their guest bloggers.  Check out my first post for them on 10 Innovative Ways to Recharge Your Book Club!

First, a big thank you to all of you who have already responded to my survey.  I have already received lots of great feedback and have implemented a number of your suggestions –  I have added a search box, a “Recent Posts” widget, as well as a calendar to increase accessibility to my most recent posts.  In addition, I only added the bare minimum of advertising (Amazon only).

One reader recommended that I post about those titles that are eagerly anticipated as well as those that are new in paperback.  I will be modifying my “Sunday Links” feature to include both of these great ideas, as well as any other interesting news I’ve stumbled upon in the literary world.

Other great suggestions — more information on author background/context/research to make book club meetings even more interesting (I actually have an upcoming guest post on Book Group Buzz on just this topic — I’ll be sure to link to it when it’s published).  And one reader would like suggestions for titles similar to the ones I’ve reviewed (“if you liked this… try this”).  One suggestion was to host an on-line book club through the web site.  

I really appreciate everyone’s ideas!  I’ve also noticed the “clutter factor” needs help (I agree and am shopping for a new theme…).

Again, thank you to everyone who has responded and if you haven’t added your voice to the mix yet, it’s not too late!  Simply Click Here to take survey (The survey is very quick, by the way — only 10 questions).

Welcome back!
